Apologies for the tangent:

I know we’re just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word “some” to statements about groups. It’s just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn’t make the joke less funny.

That 90’s brand of humor of “X group does Y” has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I’d really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.

Totally optional. Thank you

You’ve never done ecommerce logistics

I literally have. Go climb up a tree.

Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it’s old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.

Have you tried buying from aliexpress? It’s the same products as on Amazon, but directly from the supplier. Imagine Amazon, but everything’s 50% off.

Meta’s emissions were 3000x higher than they reported?! What the heck are they doing over there

If you’re the one working on this infrastructure, then why are the reports saying that it’s only 13%? Are you guys lying on the forms?

God damnit not this swill again. It’s not even close to triple, it’s like 15%. Read. The. Reports.

For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.

And it’s the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.

The EU’s CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.

Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You’ll get it 50% off.

I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.

This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it’s way better than my work’s $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.

They’d have to block all investment platforms. Even ETrade and Chase have ads like that.

Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.

Some random Chinese company: does something jenky
